Cochin and Marans...roo or hen?

[Ellie]

Hi, these are two eggs that my broody hen, Poppi hatched. One is a Cochin and the other is a Marans. They are 15 days old. What do you think?

This is at one week:

This was today at 15 days old:

Thanks,

Well, it is still early and they are different breeds, but, in the second picture, the one in the middle is starting to get a pretty big comb, seems like rooster.

Yeah, I know it is early, but I can hardly wait to post on BYC when I get new chicks because I am lousy at sexing chicks.

Gosh, I can hardly tell them apart half the time yet they are completely different breeds.

I agree. I have a maran that is 3 weeks old and it has a comb like yours and I am pretty sure he is a rooster because my older roosters don't like him.

It's still a little early to tell but I'm pretty sure the one in the first pic on the right is a hen the other may quite possibly be a roo.
